Any Country That Has Mandatory Jury Duty is Despotic

Please, I fail to see how paying a juror would help them render a proper decision.

Please, you can't get professionals for free, duh!

Well DUH, you've missed my point entirely.

I didn't know you had one.

How would you go about monitoring the job performance of professional jurors?
What qualification do they need? Will there be a college course for jury professionals?
Is there to be a separate set of jury-accountants who can decide fraud cases that no longer have to be explained to the courts in layman's terms?

Why not just model it after professional referee/umpire/etc. crews in sports?

Absolutely. There should be a professional directory too which allows us to inspect who is on our jury and what their credentials are, where they studied, who their friends are and what they get up to on social media (so we can estimate their biases ofc).

if we did all that we would need people with law degrees to be on a jury. The same could be applied to politicians running for office, but then you wouldn't have anyone qualified who wanted the office, just like you do now.
